I'm SOOOOO excited for you Podwoman!! Glad to hear how well things are going for you. Love Dr. Bob's website but email me at myname1atyahoodotcom so we can chat more freely than posting. I'm still at 100 MG for the Topomax and that's as high as I will go. At least for now. My doc thinks that's high enough. I missed Oprah yesterday but I wanted to see it. I KNOW it was inspiring to see people who'd lost so much. I'm telling you girlfriend, just the smallest changes in your diet can make such a HUGE difference. For example the splitting of a meal in half like I mentioned in my post yesterday. Oh my goodness, I am so excited about life and the freedom that I feel. Wanna hear the funny part? I'm still almost 300 lbs!!! LOL But I'm 63 lbs. lighter than when I started back in June and I can see that I WILL get where I want to be...Not sure where that is but we can get there together. I just wanna feel better and not let EVERY move I make be a struggle. At 360 lbs. (June 02, to 297 (current) I'm telling you, it's like a whole world has opened up to me. Wanna hear the cutest thing?? I feel like SUCH a lady...because I CAN CROSS MY LEGS...WITHOUTH HOLDING THE OTHER ONE ON TOP!!!! LOL!! Call me crazy, but the first time I realized I was crossing my legs and I didn't HAVE to hold it, I almost cried. All I could think was how good God was for sparing my life to let me get to see that day. Yes, God is in even the smallest of miracles. And if my life would've been over at that moment, I would've passed on happy. It's a great journey, it's not easy, but it will change your life. The reward is like being let out of prison. I'm SO excited that I just want to tell every person I see that they can do it. If I can do it, ANYBODY can do it!! LOL I'm the BAG-O-BINGER..meaning i eat the whole BAG-O-ANYTHING when I would binge!! (lol) Any tips, recipes, ideas, common sense (not much of that left--hehe) but whatever resources I have, I'm willing to share. Email me and keep me posted!!!
